I always get excited whenever I receive makeup products in my BNT Beauty Box especially if they are eye and lip items. So imagine my excitement when I saw the Forencos Lips in Love Lip Tint with it's chic packaging in my box.
Since 1988, Forencos has been putting out environmental cosmetics in Korea but this brand is practically still a newbie in the international market. It had started making its name in the foreign market when the Lips in Love Lip Tint was introduced by Kpop idol, SISTAR's SoYou.
There are 7 shades in the Lips in Love line and I received 04 Lol Lol Lol, a bright coral pink shade. The lip tint claims to apply smoothly on the lips without dry patches on dry lips, high pigmentation with a lip gloss formula but without the stickiness.
The applicator is more flexible than the usual lip applicators. This can be both good and bad. Good that it can reach all the areas of your lips. Bad, you would lose control and it is pretty easy to go over the lines of your lips especially since this color is very bold and you would always need the aid of a mirror to apply to make sure you put it on precisely and perfectly.
The color pay off is amazing. I personally think this is more of a liquid lipstick rather than a lip tint. It does give you a slight gloss but if you want a more matte and longer lasting lip color, I suggest you blot the color out with the back of your hand or a tissue. It doesn't really hold through eating and drinking. As for the claims of no dry patches on dry lips, well, that doesn't hold true either. Although it is moisturizing on the lips, you definitely would see dry patches.
I do have a love/hate relationship with this particular product but the color is pretty and it's the shade that I typically go for. It is something that I do recommend if you are in the market for a new brand to try out when it comes to lip tints or lip lacquers.
*This product was sent to me for review but as always, my reviews are honest and based on my own opinions and experience.
